A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	For this, I do thank you. For my part, I realise, increasingly, that I should respond to criticism better, less instinctively defensive, and I apologise for being rude to you on my talk. Where you are, of course, welcome anytime 🍻☕️ SN54129 13:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Serial! And no worries at all of course. I'm really happy that we can be on good terms. JBchrch talk 16:04, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Department of Finance

Regarding WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 9#Department of Finance which you closed, what did you think about my suggestion about all the related redirects? Jay (talk) 07:13, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jay, I didn't include anything about that in the closure because it had not received !votes or feedback, but it seems to me like your suggestion would be consistent with the consensus. JBchrch talk 15:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It no feedback is the reason, the suggestion was there for only 3 days before you closed it. Maybe leave it there for a few more days, and let another admin close it. Jay (talk) 04:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay I think that the discussion had reached a consensus after a week, so I respectfully disagree. But if you think I should undo my close, then I will. Just please confirm that it's what you want me to do. JBchrch talk 05:07, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since you disagree, I won't push it. Can you add a line about the suggestion in the close statement? Jay (talk) 05:31, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay Sure. Would "Similar redirects may be boldly retargeted there as well" work? JBchrch talk 13:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I'm the editor I am today in large part thanks to your guidance during the zemmour dispute, so I thought I'd re-emphasize my gratitude and appreciation for you. I hope you enjoyed the weekend ^u^ A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 00:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this kind message @A. C. Santacruz. You're very welcome, and I'm glad if I have helped you. JBchrch talk 04:30, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Afd rationale

Your argument is specious regarding dab pages for descriptive terms. Joker contains characters named Joker or The Joker, not those described as jokers, e.g. Robin Williams. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Clarityfiend That's not a good comparison because, as multiple editors have said, reliable sources call these events Russo-German Wars. The best argument you could have made was that the page should be turned into a redirect to Eastern Front (World War II) because it's what the term is mostly used to designate, but that's not the discussion we were having. This is all very different from listing banana at Fruit (disambiguation), and I agree that using DABs this way would not work. The reason I brought up Joker, however, is because you said that DAB pages are used only to disambiguate titles and this I disagree with. JBchrch talk 14:26, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What? Joker is the name/title of various characters. I have no dispute with that. Those entries, however, aren't descriptions period, end of story.

As for the Afd decision, that's just wrong, but that's another issue. MOS:DABMENTION is violated: the term doesn't appear in Eastern Front (World War I) at all and only once in Eastern Front (World War II), as the title of a book, which doesn't equate the two.

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Good Humor
	On April Fool's Day, it is good to memorialize your contribution to Nebraska v. One 1970 2-Door Sedan Rambler (Gremlin) on the main page. Your words of informed wisdom at the nomination page helped make it possible. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:39, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Creation of page "Citadel Securities"

Hi JBchrch. Just wanted to follow up as you suggested in order split the Citadel Securities page. Included in this gentle reminder is the fact that there already exists, in my user space, a version of the article which can be moved to main space if you choose. Thanks again for your help.
